sorry, I am really bad in writing... I expect people to read my mind I guess <G>
no, just wanted to say kudos to Lon for doing a superb job of modifying and 
upgrading my specimen.  It might now work like it was originally intended, 
and that may be because the amp as he got it, had the wrong Dahl transformer 
in it.  who knows.  Point is, regardless, it works GREAT!!  I just pretend 
that it is a single power instead of a dual range-power amplifier.  Much 
simpler.<G>

I am nuts about this amp.!!  The only thing that I believe that I would like 
to add to the shack is an Alpha 374A - then I would have everything I could 
possibly need.

again, my apologies and I did not mean any criticism of Lon in any manner.
He does superb work and I am sure that he simply overlooked telling me that 
this was not capable of doing the usual 700W?/1200W?  or whatever the 
original was set for.  I do not miss it and am not about to take it back 
across town to have him change out transformers or whatever.  That is simply 
nitpicking!!.  In fact Lon, I apologize for even mentioning it.  mea culpa.
